Mothers

Happy Mother's Day! The day is upon us to recognize our mothers and recognize us as mothers. Whether you have children of your own or not, women have always "mothered" everyone and everything around them. Some women are mothers to their neighborhood children, children at church, their husbands (LOL), animals, etc. Just because you haven't given birth doesn't mean you're not a mother.

.

Today I thought we would laugh a little bit! You know, as Mothers we often do without so everyone else can have. That $10 bill we hide in our wallets is given out at ballparks, movie theaters, shopping malls, etc. all to buy the most ridiculous items just to see the ones we love smile. We cook huge meals on holidays (and Mother's Day) spending hours in the kitchen just to see the ones we love smile. We get up first, go to bed last. We are the ones pushing them at the start line and catching them at the finish line. Our arms are always big enough, our shirts are always ready to dry tears, our bank accounts are endless (maybe not but we make it that way if necessary) and our hearts can always hold more. We are...MOMS!

.

But, what about all those little things they do that drive us nuts and make us laugh. Here are the top 10 things I think that children do and/or say that make being a Mom...priceless....

.

10) "Mom! I forgot to get a towel and I'm already in the shower!"

.

9) Daughter: I have no shoes!

Mother: Sweetie, go look in my closet. I have a pair that would look cute with that.

Daughter: Are you kidding me?!?! You wear Grandma shoes!!

.

8) Shaving cream can rings on the tub because your daughter doesn't know how to put it up!

.

7) Soured clothes left in the washing machine for 2 days!

.

6) Mother: Son, did you remember to take the trash out like I said?

Son: Yes ma'am!

Mother: Then why isn't there a bag in the can?

Son: You didn't tell me to put another bag in the can!

.

5) Mother: We are going on a budget! No call waiting or caller i.d. anymore!

Child: If we don't have caller i.d. anymore how will we know who is calling us?

Mother: Pick up the phone, say hello and I guarantee you the other person will tell you

who they are.

Child: Is that how YOU did it when you were a little girl?

.

4) "I'm not talking mean and hateful, Mom! Gah, I'm playing the playstation! We are at war

here!!"

.

3) "Mom, you don't have to look beautiful! I love you just the way you are!"

.

2) "I would fix you breakfast in bed but the thing is...I don't know what kind of cereal you

like!"

.

1) "You said clean my room! You didn't say where to put all the stuff. I just figured I keep it

all on the floor anyway so under my bed was an easy fix!"

.

Are you laughing yet? Yes, these are all things that happen at my house on any given day! It is like a three ring circus! But, I must say that my most favorite thing about being a Mom is Proverbs 30:17. "The eye that mocks a father, that scorns obedience to a mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures..." Yeah, read that verse to your kids and then say "Pop off now!"

.

I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day! =) Hug your kids, kiss your husband and think about your Mother because don't forget...you are just getting back ten fold sweetie! =) (Now we know why our Moms have gray hair!!!)
